CAMPLUX AY132N 5L Portable Gas Water Heater, Outdoor Shower for Camping, RV, Washing Horses

I was initially a little sceptical of this, as the images from Camplux's own website seemed a bit staged and looked photoshopped to hell. I needed this to put a temporary hot water supply in an outbuilding and now I've used it, I have to say I'm actually rather impressed. The build quality is good, the external casing is robust and the connections all seem well engineered. There was slight scuffing to the logo on the front which was a bit disappointing, but to be honest, the unit was pristine in all other respects and it was going to go in a barn, so I couldn't get too precious about it. The supplied anchor bolts are decent quality, and although I haven't had to use them, I have put them aside into my stash of fixings for future use - quite often products are supplied with rubbish fixings which get thrown away, so this is a nice change. Whilst the shower hose is quite short, I wanted to mount the unit at the open edge of the barn, to avoid death by carbon monoxide, but I also wanted the shower further under cover. This was easy enough to do; as the hot water output has a standard hozelock compatible fitting, I just made a 10m section of hose with a hozelock coupling on each end. Sorted. On the subject of the shower head, what I didn't realise from the advert was that the shower-head has a push switch on it, so you can leave the system pressurised and the unit will be dormant until you switch the shower-head on, at which point, the unit detects a pressure drop and ignites. Clever. It also means that I've been able to split the water outlet just before the shower-head and put a normal tap on the other line, so when I open the tap, the same thing happens. Even cleverer. Flow rate is good, and with the ambient temperature at approx 12°C, the shower is very useable. I imagine that as the ambient temperature reduces, I might have to reduce the flow rate a bit but I think it will still be useable. Look out for an update in February. Having an extra 10 metres of hose on the hot water outlet won't help things then.. BTW, the D cell batteries for the ignition circuit are NOT supplied, so make sure you get some before you go trekking up into the hills. I've had this up and running for a week now, using it about 5 or 6 times a day, and the igniters are still going strong. Anyway, hope that helps - I'd certainly buy another one.

I added this to a campervan. It is an outside shower but I added extra ventilation to the van. The shower has performed brilliantly. Water is easily warm enough even on a minimum setting at it warms up easily. It was easy enough for a novice like me to install.

Amazing product very easy to set up, had Six Horses going to a Show and one was showered after the other, could do with a slightly longer shower hose supplied but i made a section up from a garden hose to make an extension.

Great item gets proper hot and with the right water pressure very powerful too. Can highly recommend

I bought this in May 2023 and had it in storage until early September 2024. I unboxed it and set it up as instructed and found it easy to assemble. It ran fine and I was delighted with it for approximately 5 minutes. Then a huge flame came from the back of the unit. Luckily I was beside it and managed to turn off the gas immediately. I went through all fittings again, making sure they were secure and correct. They were. I tried it again. This time in ran for just over six minutes and the same thing happened. I checked online and discovered that other people had the same problem. I tried it a third time with the gas at its lowest setting and the water at its highest. Again, it went on fire. I binned it as I feel it is a dangerous hazard. It’s well beyond my money back entitlement period so I can only warm others. If I hadn’t been standing next to it, I hate to think what could have happened.

So easy to install we are using with 19kg propane bottles so cut of the regulator attached and put on the screw regulator. No problems even in the rain when we forgot to cover them. Brilliant shower

I bought this to use as an outside shower before and after getting into my hot tub. It works great for this. Pressure is good and it heats up quickly - even when it’s quite cold outside.

Good but the 2 plastic hose connectors are poor quality. Replace with 1/2'' threaded brass house connectors and all is well. Frustratingly the manual shows bread parts but plastic ones were sent

L'ho montato sul camper. È fantastico. Ho tutta l'acqua calda che voglio. E si può regolare temperatura e pressione dell'acqua. L'accensione è a batteria. Consigliatissimo

I've been using this in my campervan for a year and it's brilliant. I just open the back doors and hang a shower curtain between them to create an outdoor shower area. The water temperature is easy to adjust and it works with low pressure which helps to save water. I love that I can take a nice hot shower anywhere I go, and it's also perfect for washing muddy hiking gear etc. When it stopped working, the customer service team was kind and sent me a new one :)

Gemakkelijk te installeren douche. Ik heb het aan de binnenkant van een achterdeur van mijn camper. Het water wordt na enkele al warm ennis goed te reguleren.

Ottimo prodotto, l'attacco del gas è tedesco, ma mi è bastato sostituirlo con un regalatore italiano

Scaldabagno fantastico,
